Potted up the tomato seedlings.
Sowed DFBs in modules.
Continued pulling up Vinca and brambles near the old chicken run.
Put grass cuttings in old chicken run to mark out the path - central bed is potatoes and peas/beans will be around the edge.
I was so busy that time flew by and I almost missed lunch and dinner.

Filled Raise bed 3 and the bath in the tunnel. Potted on borage. A couple of things got to spend there first day outside. Starting to harden off. Luckily for them I remembered to bring them back in as well.

Weeded the herb bed.
Tied in the perennial sweet peas.

    As it was.
    Today.

Made more inroads into the vinca patch - its at least 10' wide from the fence to the path and I've no idea how long it is. So much wasted ground. I've found 3 fruit bushes ?gooseberry in there so far. Lots of raspberry canes too.

Yes, Vinca/periwinkle. 
Periwinkle sounds cute - but Vinca is a thug so its Vinca to me.

Me neither, it's only allowed to grow in one area of really grubby land in front of some railings, if it gets cheeky P is allowed to vent his pruning anger on it, plus it gets mowed periodically.

Moved all the chillies, tomatoes, aubergines, & cockscomb to the tunnel. Planted tomatoes & aubergines. Tomatoes weren’t happy about the ordeal. Did feel mean. Just don’t have time to pamper them this year. Also covered the whole bed with fleece to hopefully prevent slugs and weeds and keep the moisture in the bed.
Helped Bob empty a shed at Edith and start dismantling for moving to Bradan.
Covered all the plants that are now in the tunnel.
